Lyrics[]

Tamaa: (spoken)
Who do I think I am?

Tamaa:
I'm the bird of a thousand voices
Yes, indeed
Bird of a thousand voices
Yes, it's me

It's all in fun
It's just a game
Tamaa the drongo
That's my name
Bird of a thousand voices
Yes, it's me

When I was just a baby bird
I learned I had a skill
To imitate both night and day
You know, it was a thrill

But when it came to hunt and peck
It wasn't all that great
I had to find a different way
To earn the food I ate

That's why I'm
The bird of a thousand voices
Yes, indeed
Bird of a thousand voices
Yes, it's me

It's all in fun
It's just a game
Tamaa the drongo
That's my name
Bird of a thousand voices
Yes, it's me

So imitating bad guys
Is my way to earn a meal
Nobody's ever harmed
All that hurts is how they feel

Now listen very closely
You won't believe your ears
'Cause doing other voices
Is a skill I've had for years!

Better look out! Janja's here!
I'm Makuu! Cower in fear!
Goigoi here! I'll give you what's for!
And let me tell you, kids
I've got plenty more

'Cause I'm the
Bird of a thousand voices
Yes, indeed
Bird of a thousand voices
Yes, it's me

It's all in fun
It's just a game
Tamaa the drongo
That's my name
Bird of a thousand voices
Bird of a thousand voices
Bird of a thousand voices
Yes, it's me!
Bird of a thousand voices
Yes, it's me!
